#005: Lessons Learned In Celibacy - with Safiya Robinson
Dentist and author, Safiya, is celibate and a free spirit at heart. What I thought was going to be purely about sex and celibacy, evolved into a much deeper topic.
We discuss:
- How Safiya choose celibacy. Was she going around having bad sex and gave up?
- Does she date and how it works?
- The difference between choosing it for you vs your beliefs.
- How sex positivity isn’t always helpful.
- Free choice and don’t look to others to validate it
- Marching to your own drum. Take ownership of your feelings, beliefs and body.
- Ask for what you want.
- What is intimacy and are we settling for mediocre sex instead?
- From believing no one could ever love me, to hell yeah, bring on the love!
- Why quirks are the best in love
- Keeping it simple, not wasting energy on things that may never happen.
- Safyia’s take on expectations.
- I reveal why I’m so passionate about health and why I chose it as a business.
